L LOC TION
1. Institute 49 is located in the center of the city of Leningaad, in a district
named Smolnyy Rayon. The two blocks which made up the area belonging to the
institute were bordered roughly in the south by the Ninth Sovetskaya Ulitsa,
in the west by the Grecheskaya Ulitsa,,and in the east by the Suvorovskiy
Prospekt. Adjoining the institute to the north were various apartment build-
ings. The immediate surroundings of the institute consisted of apartment
buildings.
HISTORY OF THE INSTTTU7E BUILDINGS
2. With two exceptions all buildings operated by the institute were old and pro-
bably built prior-t6 World War I. I heard from the Soviets that until approxi-
mately 1921 these buildings were used for hospital purposes. After 1921 various
research laboratories were installed (electronics?). I was also told that
these installations were moved to some other, safer place during World War II.
No war damages are visible in. the institute area.

A, x, T TTRRATION ANDLABOR FORCE
Institute 49. was subordinate to the Ministry of Shipbuilding (MSP) in
Moscow. All the administrative leaders and most of the teohni6al
personnel were oiviliansq but officers of the Soviet navy (in uniform)
also worked there regularly. 'nor organization and lists of Soviet
and German personnel,see ; 5X1A
3.
4. A Soviet technician told me once that approximately 1000 persons were
employed by the institute. No slave orforeign labor-was. employed.
In the last-few years he number of.personnel was
steadily growing. I ha a impression that perhaps one third of the
total personnel were women (including women technicians and engineers).
Soviet engineers and technical personnel received lower pay than the
German specialists in equal positions. Working hours forQerman and
Soviet employees were the same, six days a week from 0900 to 1800 hours.
I have no information about the hours for the workers, but did observe
that in some places workers worked in two shifts. Ron and women
employees received the same pay in corresponding jobs.

artillery cadets were trained there.
Point 2 Q314 d Ho se, a brick construction, five meters long, one story
high. It is the control point at the entrance to the insti-.
tuts for Soviet employees and workers. All German specialists
entered and left the institute in a group by bus, escorted
by an interpreter and without any further check. In special
oases single Germans were escorted in and out separately by
an interpreter.
of t 3 Administration Building, a brick construction, two fronts in
a right angle, 15 meters and 35 meters'long, four stories high,
flat roof covered by sheet metal plates. This building con-
tained offices for the administration, bookkeeping, and payroll
personnel, also the office of the Communist Party secretary
in the institute. A library was located on the second floor,
as well as a small dispensary for employees.

Three buses, three to four passenger cars and six to seven
trucks were assigned to the institute and were serviced
in this building.

Main Building of NII 49, a brick construction, 45 meters long,
35 meters wide, four stories high, with a flat roof covered by
sheet metal plates. This building housed the offices of the
technical management on the second floor, various laboratories
(chemical, test measuring, vacuum tubes) on the third floor,
radar laboratory with its sub-departments, and perhaps some
others.
for the institute employees was situated on the ground floor.

stories high, flat roof covered by sheet metal plates.. This
building had a separate entrance from Grealiaak ya,.. litsa

high, with a gabled roof. The ground floor of this building
consisted of a garage and a carpenter shop. The upper floor
was partly a calculations office, where Soviet girls operated
calculators and other office machines and partly it housed
(since 1950) the German Mummert group of the servomeohanism
laboratory. The Mummert group was originally located in a
separate section on the third floor of the administration
building (Point from 1946 to 19

this time sections of the personnel and administration office
(Point 3) had already moved into this new building.

.with large windows and a gable type roof. German lathes and
other machinery were installed there.
Point 13 Small Foundry, a brick building, 7 x 5 x 4 meters with gable-
type roof and no windows. It was probably used. for casting

building was completed early in 1952. I only know that a
dispensary, such as in the administration building (Point 3),
was located on the ground floor.
